Good Wednesday morning. Have we reached the end of the baseball World Series yet? No, apparently there was a rain problem and the some dispute over where and when to play the remaining 3.5 innings. Hopefully this is not a precursor to the presidential election. I think the muck-up in 2000 was enough election controversy for one lifetime. Whichever candidate wins the election, I hope there is a clear margin in both the popular and electoral college results. On to more enjoyable topics!
In reading Pastor Rogers' devotional this morning, I couldn't help but feel sympathy for the person who depended upon the law to save him; managed to avoid any sin for 90 years, and then just at his dying day, looked at something or someone with lust in his heart and then died. What would you do? All your life, meticulously observing every law in the Bible, and then just like that it's all over and you blew it at the end. How tragic! I don't have that problem, my perfect record as far as the Law is concerned was broken many years ago and the war has continued since that time. Paul, one of the giants of our faith, had the same problem as you and I. We lust after persons and things, we covet, we fall into anger and hate, the root of bitterness might get the best of us, and in many other ways we break the law. Praise God that Jesus came to take that burden away! It's too much for anyone to bear on their own.
...which reminds me of the economic news lately. That is too much for any of us to bear on our own too! Trust in God, believe in Jesus, and take comfort in the Holy Spirit; we are not alone! I looked at canning equipment yesterday at a store; kind of a hmmm, might need to learn how to do that. :-)
God bless you on this fine day!
